Other winners included Antonio Valencia who claimed the Players’ Player of the Year prize and Henrikh Mkhitaryan who won Goal of the Season for his awesome scorpion kick against Sunderland.

Ibrahimovic is currently rehabilitating from his career-threatening injury in Stockholm and wasn’t in attendance. Had he done so he might have felt aggrieved to miss out on any awards considering his contribution this term, which included a club-best 28 goals in all competitions.

Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo and Ashley Young – who are all injured – also missed the ceremony which was presented by Mark Chapman.

The ceremony drew a lot of attention in 2015 when a boisterous Louis van Gaal took to the stage to make a speech. Jose Mourinho’s predecessor made an eccentric address, including chanting ‘Louis van Gaal’s army’. He also slapped Ryan Giggs around the head.

That was perhaps why Mourinho opted not to give a speech at this year’s ceremony.
